dennis: it is official, student loan rates, interest rates will double on monday. congress has not scheduled a vote on the issue before then to work on this. the college loan crisis is the
6:34 pm
next big financial crisis. like the last big bust, the federal government has its share of the blame. take a look in some numbers. the college loan crisis is so bad that it is far outpacing credit card debt by more than $300 billion. look at that, 9,806,000,000,000, that is almost a trillion. this is the federal government that has the fortune that the taxpayers have to guarantee. we're putting a 106 billion this year alone in federally guaranteed college loans, 40% per year since obama took @%fice. where is this going? with me now, campus consultants, the author of paying for college without killing broke. thank you for being with us. looking at some of these numbers. when you look at the default rate, credit cards, 20% interest rate. the rest that they won't get paid back. college loans at 3 percent and,3 they will go up tt a just under seven. the default rate is over 11 percent and the feds actually say it will double to 22 percent
6:35 pm
once deferrals and greece. slap. what is going on? >> part of the reason is the sign of the times. one of the -- the students are deciding to go on for advanced degrees. they are borrowing more money. a large amount of money in the graduate students are able to borrow more money in the federally sponsored loan programs and undergraduate students, so that is one of the big reasons for the increase. of course, a default is the problem. some students are not even aware unfortunately that there are provisions for them to work with the lenders to avoid default which is something that all students who are borrowers to have these loans should try to do. dennis: isn't this, in part, what happens when the federal government takes over a private industry business? president obama's says that banks are too greedy and mean. the federal government will do a better job. banks, when the loan moneyy have to make sure to get it back. the fed's, they learn new money and don't care whether they get
6:36 pm
it back. >> they actually have services that to the loans which has been part of the problem, the servicing of the loans, abuses with the collection efforts. but part of the problem is, as soon as the students come out of school and don't have a job, what they do? that is part of the problem, the sad thing with the high unemployment rate. many students going to college. it is the american dream, and now -- dennis: our government is giving out money willy-nilly $100 billion per year in guaranteed loans without checking credit ratings for the people who receivehout doing a background check or even checking whether they are enrolled in college. the wall street journal had a story last week. fraud, almost one-and-a-half billion paid out in in proper federal loan payments system the past year. 34,000 people who are members of criminal organizations got loan payments. this is crazy. >> it is. that is part of the problem. the schools issues of not verifying enrollment doing that
6:37 pm
which is part of the problem with the loan. it is unfortunate because there are many students that are dependent on these loans in order to go to college. the colleges, of course, are addicted to the federal debt as well. dennis: philosophical wises up to the federal government? why isn't it up to me to find a way to a but myself through college? >> that is hard to do for many students to do that. they have had these loans, but in recent years that has decelerated tremendously, the amount of borrowing that students can do with the federal loan. dennis: in that has lifted tuition prices which are up 40 percent of the past five to ten years because of the flood of money that comes in which allows prices to rise. >> there is no easy answer. dennis: i was thinking, shouldn't they be giving out federal loan guarantees based upon what they want people to go steady? we are short tens of thousands of engineers. why not give loans to people who study engineering and not people who want to study 17th century french poetry?
6:38 pm
>> that is a difficult question to answer. unfortunately the government did used to have a grant program for students that were going to go into the high-tech fields. the smart grant program for students who wanted to go into certain majors. they cancelled that program which is unfortunate because that is part of the thing to encourage students to go into the high-need areas to give them incenttves to do that. other loan forgiveness or grants. for a few years and then yet unfunded. dennis: almost a trillion dollar liability. they are saying a 20% default rate which is $200 billion. that is a big number. it seems like no one is watching it at all. >> there are some provisions with the federal aid. if the default rate is too high, the weighted average of the students at the school, which is a certain point that the schools can lose their eligibility for federal assistance. dennis: that is something. >> they do have some checks and

quarters which is we have these economic targets. the economy is not getting worse. it may be getting better. if it gets better we will step away, and that think that is exactly what they should want. that is why, as i said on a similar show on monday talking about the overreaction and what people should use this as a buying opportunity because i think the market will right itself and go out. dennis: where do you think the dow will close by year end? >> probably a good five to 10% higher, and maybe even higher than that. you know why? interest rates. i tell you, people are getting scared out of the bond market. that is a bad thing for couple of reasons, but a good thing for stocks because they have nowhere else to go. money markets are not paying anything. commodities are getting smoked. equities seem to be the only game in town. dennis: yet in the past week or two we saw everything go down. stocks, gold, oil, bonds. where's the money going? >> that is a great question. it seemed like it was going to
6:45 pm
money markets. ironically notice coming out. your point is well taken. when typically that happens we call that correlation going to one. everything goes read it the same time. the benefit of that is that it tends to be a very short-lived phenomenon, meaning that things get blown out of the water and people come back and pick up the pieces which is why you are seeing the market bounced back really well. the pendulum is swinging back in our favor. dennis: i keep hearing a lot of market pros insist the only reason the market is up is because of the fed loose money policy and for 100 years or more have not stocks always been a prediction of where earnings are going? do you think that the market's rising, up 15% this year before all this turmoil, do you think that the rise is just the fed souffle or is it eaanings doing well and the economy mending? >> you're making me hungry. my favorite elephant in the room is the fed.
6:46 pm
keeping interest rates low helps people barrault, companies refinanced, obviously has helped the housing market. i'm telling you, if rates stay low this is good because companies will refinance and reinvest capital. i think this is a fed type of souffle based upon where earnings are banned -- have been which has not been an impressive dennis: one last thing. if the markets turn out to be wrong when they sent the dow down, are the market's wrong with all this talk about the bond bubble? bond yields are up from january until now meaning that bond prices are up 43%. so is the market wrong? >> no, but i think people looking at bonds the wrong way, dennis. you know as well as i do, being a smart guy then i trying to -- listen, if you want to up by security and as long as the company is not bankrupt or go into default, you will the money back. @%e reality is, most of the time
